Specify which attributes are available for the Secure LDAP client Posted: 05 May 2021 01:12 PM PDT What's changing  The Secure LDAP service provides a simple and secure way to connect your LDAP-based applications and services to Cloud Identity or Google Workspace. Admins can now specify which attributes they'd like to make available for the LDAP Client: System attributes: Default user attributes that are available for all user accounts—for example, Email, Phone, and Address. Note that you can't disable this option. Public custom attributes: Custom user attributes that are marked as visible to the organization. Private custom attributes: Custom user attributes that are marked as visible only to the user and administrators. Use caution when using private custom attributes, as you're exposing private information to the LDAP client. Who's impacted Admins and end users Why it's important LDAP clients are in the secure LDAP service, which enables users to access traditional LDAP-based apps and IT infrastructure using their Google Workspace credentials. This new feature gives admins more control over the connections your LDAP-based applications and services interact with Google Workspace and Cloud Identity services.  Additional details Custom attribute naming requirements and guidelines: Names for custom attributes can contain only alphanumeric text and hyphens. There should be no duplicate attribute names across all custom schemas. If the custom attribute name matches with an existing system attribute, we will return the system attribute value. Important: If attribute names don't adhere to the above guidelines, the attribute values in question are excluded from the LDAP response.

Additional admin controls for Google Voice ring groups Posted: 05 May 2021 11:17 AM PDT What's changing We've added new ways for admins to manage their Google Voice ring groups. Specifically, admins can now: Configure a "Fixed order" pattern where incoming ring group calls will ring members in a predetermined order. Change the maximum duration that a call should ring before proceeding to the "unanswered call" behavior — previously this was fixed at 30 seconds. Set your Call Routing Pattern, Ring Duration, and Order of Call Ringing Setting the Call Routing Pattern to Simultaneous Who's impacted Admins Why you'd use it We've heard from you that you'd like more options to customize the ringing behavior for your ring groups. With the new "Fixed order" pattern, you can define exactly what order to ring your members when the ring group receives a call, skipping members who are already in a call or have "Do not disturb" enabled. You can also customize the maximum ringing duration for fixed and round robin patterns that allows you to limit how long an incoming call should ring, which may be particularly useful for large ring groups. Getting started Admins: Visit the Help Center to learn more about setting up and configuring ring groups for your organization. End users: No action required. Rollout pace Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 5 days for feature visibility) starting on May 5, 2021. Availability Available to all Google Workspace and G Suite customers with Google Voice standard and premier licenses. Not available to Google Workspace and G Suite customers with Google Voice starter licenses. Resources Google Workspace Admin Help: Set up ring groups
